TENAYA JUGGLED her morning latte from Café Bellissima and leather
briefcase, thumb hovering over her phone as she responded to another text
about an upcoming baby shower. Her thick, curly hair stuck to her temples,
frizzing in the early morning Los Angeles heat. September often brought
the highest temps of the year, and the nerve-wracking Santa Ana winds,
intense blows that sparked wildfires and tempers.
None of which did a thing to lighten her mood. She stared down at the
text, but the words hadn’t changed. She sighed. How many baby showers
was that this year? Last week, it was an invite to a destination wedding. The
second in three months. Her law school friends were moving on with their
lives while she remained stuck in neutral. No husband. No kids. Not even a
steady plus one. Just work.
A city bus pulled up to the curb with a hiss of brakes, disgorging a
crowd of office-dwellers into the late summer heat. People swarmed around
her, each intent on their own destination. She clutched her latte tighter and
let her thumb slide away from the phone’s screen. No need to respond to
Jillian’s invitation this second.
Before she could pocket her device, another text popped up. Her
assistant, Megan.
WHERE ARE YOU?
The all-caps message made Tenaya’s heart rev. Though on the young
side of thirty, Megan wasn’t given to drama. Café Bellissima had been
slammed today. Still, Tenaya was only 15 minutes past her usual arrival
time at the office. Which was over an hour earlier than most of the other
attorneys arrived.
First in, last out.
Some days, she didn’t even see her condo in the daylight. She squeezed
into the vast, modern lobby of the high rise, her thumb hovering over the
screen again, but she was literally one elevator ride away from seeing
Megan in person. She pocketed her phone, practicing her yoga breathing on
the way up the 12 floors to the Steadman Hawking offices. By the time she
reached her floor, the artificial air had done its job. At least she wasn’t
sweating.
She edged her way out of the cramped elevator and curved past the
main reception desk. The wide brass facing on the desk reflected her
movements back at her as she headed for her small office in the back. Her
assistant intercepted her before she made it halfway down the hall.
The pretty redhead pointed back over Tenaya’s shoulder. “Jarrod needs
you. Now.”
Tenaya suppressed a sigh. She and Jarrod had been hired the same year,
but ever since making senior partner six months ago, Jarrod loved piling
extra work on her.
She handed her laptop case to the other woman and hooked a left turn,
heading for the smallest of the firm’s corner offices on the other side of the
floor. She could decline his summons. Her work calendar was already overfull. If Jarrod intended to palm off another dead-end case, she would push
back. There were ten associates far more junior than her. No. The operative
word was…no.
